DiGiLOG
Daniela "Litto" Weiss Olivier Hölzl curated by Marija Nujic EXHIBITION (window show) 15.-30.04.2021 / We-Sa 4-10pm What is digital art? What does it mean when it is based on analogue? What is the relationship between them? The exhibition DiGiLOG explores the interaction of digital and analogue art. To what extent does the work retain or maintain its true character? In what field of tension do the works or media operate? |
The exhibition DiGiLOG takes place - despite or due to the lockdown - as a window exhibition. The works are in fact positioned in a clearly visible way. All videos of the exhibition as well as the artist interviews will be shown as instastories and will be permanently archived as highlights. The performance of the artist Litto/Daniela Weiss is constructed as a digital oeuvre.
Her artwork "Type III" can additionally be seen as augmented reality via the Artificial Museum https://artificialmuseum.com/. Just as the performance is bound to space and time, this artwork will only be visitable for the duration of the exhibition in front of the Aa Collections Gallery. Afterwards it will be integrated into the Viennese cityscape on a public square.
Olivier Hölzl presents his minimalist, sculptural artwork "next", which is based on a video work which is looped on six TV screens. The crisis of social media or the flood of information and/or its overload leads to a lack of content and refers to social media i.e. Tinder. The criticism of clickonomy is reproduced by stringing together 300 printed sheets. The artist is also planning another digital exploration of his work "next," which will be created in the Aa Collections space. This will also be incorporated into the Artificial Museum as augmented reality.
Both works produced in the exhibition will be positioned and accessible as augmented reality in front of the Aa Collections Gallery on April 19.

paradise /ˈparədʌɪs/.
1. the abode of Adam and Eve before the Fall in the biblical account of the Creation; the Garden of Eden.
2. an ideal or idyllic place or state. "the surrounding countryside is a walker's paradise".
What is this paradise spoken of in neoliberal culture?
Where can or can these paradises be located?
Who profits? What do we take and what remains of it in the end?

Cultures are put on display to serve as amusement masses of onlookers. First World Countries thereby exercise their power over minorities as well as whole nations through cultural takeover or suppression, depending on the current doctrine: an act of cultural genocide or assimilation. This self-empowerment goes hand in hand with the projection of a desired ideal place and/or state. In the end, paradise awaits. The global village grows, leaving no place that cannot be consumed. Paradise is another commodity, and like much of the commodity of our everyday life, it is produced, for maximum profit, under anti-humanist systems: systems that profit from the exploitation and enslavement of poorer societies. The close links here are fluid. The geographical location of the theme will be reworked by the participating artists within the framework of the exhibition. The definitional level of meaning as well as the way of dealing with the theme remain individual.
Ines Kaufmann was born in Carinthia in 1996. She is currently studying in Vienna, in the class Extended Painting Space with Daniel Richter. Her artistic work encompasses an intersectional field of painting, performance and video work. Her work deals with the confrontation between eroticism and self-discovery, dirtyness and purity, feminist art and teenage kitsch.
Raphael Pohl, born in 1998 in Bolzano (IT), lives and works in Vienna. His space-related installations are an assemblage of readymade and self-made form, which in connection with their original form creates a distance between supporting ground and drunken material. Through the moving pictorial recording of his playing building blocks, he refers to the purely intuitive action of a growing body. He tries to capture the authenticity of the material and its temporal existence by making his installations understandable through personal associations.
Martin Sommer, born in Graz, lives and works in Vienna and studies at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, in the class Sculpture and Space. In his works he uses the medium of sculpture as well as instalation. Oscillating between responsibility and resignation, his sculptures seek to explore approaches and emotions evoked by multifaceted materials and forms. Feelings of heaviness and lightness imply conflicts of social as well as personal nature, questioning manifested and fragile constructs of humanity.
With her uncensored snapshots, 25-year-old photographer Maša Stanić provides insights into Vienna's youth scene and makes provocative statements against the omnipresent Biedermeier on Instagram & Co. She collaborates with current stars of the local music scene such as Mavi Phoenix, Jugo Ürdens and KeKe. Her photo work has already been published in magazines like i-D and Vice.
